•If installing an assembly that is neither hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable, disconnect the power cable from the external server power receptacle.

WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from the server prior to removing or installing server hardware (unless you are removing or installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component).

Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is turned off.

Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

•Do not wear loose clothing that can snag or catch on the server or on other items.

•Do not wear clothing subject to static charge buildup, such as wool or synthetic materials.

•If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat, such as those included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit (HP 9300-1155).

•Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge connectors or any electrical components on accessory boards.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.
